The Weight

One moment it's gone

one glorious moment

you smile

you shine

you breathe

as fool's gold fooled

you have been

upon shoulders

that cannot bear

one moment

it's gone

her smile

her shine

her breath

gone

The Magician

The Magician

written by Janette

He wows

He amazes

He holds their breath

inside their chests

the illusion

the promise

the wonder

of it all

the moment

it's pulled

out from under 

your feet

you split 

into two

so where

do I

land

Not Afraid of Loving

She was afraid

Not of loving

not of being loved

but of hurting

believing

finding fate

crushes her

fates set its design

on her

her life

her heart

crushed it so

convinced her

despicable is she

cruelty meant

served with her heart

Until

You

Curvey

Your are the straight

I am the curves

Curves you Crave

you are the logical

moving forward

I am the odd

the one that can't decide

what is best to run or to wait

I am the curves

you are my iron

hot and firm

I think you sometimes

choose to keep 

the iron on low

because my curves 

excite you

entice you

amuse you

Although I am curvy

I crave you trying

to

uncurl me

The Door

The Door

She sits alone

hair falling gently

out the window she gazes

mind is miles and lifetimes away

He is there watching

from the dark

through a doorway

hoping never to be discovered

Heart needing his touch

his essence is felt 

she longs for his touch

his mind ~ his love

She waits 

hoping

the door won't stop him

Diary

Diary

Words of youth lost 

pages never written

emotions stored deep

lost within a mind

a soul afraid to be free

If I wrote the words

would they find their way

to heaven a confession

or to hell for eternity

Would they cure or obscure

when all she searched for was him

that loves her without limit

he touches all the faded gold edges

of her diary ~ her soul

Innocent Eyes

Innocent Eyes

Really

Innocent

He knows they aren't

a small little fib

she's sent to the hall

missing her daddy

sent off to war

she learned other ways

for protection and care

principal falls victim

to her innocent eyes  

years have gone by

she's grown and moved on   

fallen now smitten

by his love and care

he doesn't fall 

for her innocent eyes    

Captured

Captured

Fish Hook Line Sinker

Bird finds their prey

the wild chase theirs

most clever of all

he who has voice

words and light

she is captured

Heart Mind Soul

Beginnings

Beginnings

Piercingly cold winter morn

protected by none

could it be that this one early morn

that destiny was formed

destined to be hurt

is it only one day

one moment 

one person that sets fates path

a frozen bottle

haphazardly placed

in a puddle of tears

frozen

used as a tool

to smash the soul

of an unsuspecting child

destiny frozen in time

Dance

Come to the forest
look for the sunshine
blasting through the night
come here with me and dance

Found here is the love I give to you
the love you share with me
I am so at peace in your love
I feel it where ever I go
but here with you
dance celebrate with me our love

Floating among the shadows of night and light
looking into your face so bright with love
I am found at peace
joyous every moment I can see your face
look into your eyes and see the depth of  your soul
to know you are exactly what was promised
my love my souls mate

Sweets

In all its grand and glorious forms
I love chocolate most of all 
truffles and mints puffs and Lindt candies rock
but I don't play favorites if someone is buying
malted milk balls, raisinets, chocolate stars too
if we're watching a movie they do well with popcorn
I love dark Sanders hot chocolate on French vanilla ice cream
you can mix in some caramel and that tastes real good too
Dairy Queen double cone chocolate dipped in chocolate
are a summer time favorite but sometimes it's difficult
to drive and not drip all over myself
On the board walk I love mint chocolate chip ice cream cones
chocolate chip cookies are a weakness too
I love buttercream frosting on top of cakes ~
I'm known to eat the frosting and bypass the cake
I love to bake fruit pies but I don't usually eat them
I much prefer to eat my stash of hidden chocolate

Him

A lighthouse for the ships

not to crash on the rocks

he's my light leading me home

when the storms are too thick

When the world all around me

seems cold and hurtful

he's the warm strong arms

holding me closer

helping me see 

I can stand on my own

He's the soft precious moments

when I wake up each day

his eyes his smile

jump starting my heart

My teacher, my lover

my one and only

and 

I Love him

Joy

Janette

 

 

Frolic through my mind

scatter it with imperceptible pieces

that only I can feel

 

Press your body to mine

leave your imprint on my skin

warm me with your passion

calm me with your touch

 

Lead my mind to your thoughts

take my hand and dance with me

Hold me  Love me  Grow with me

wherever our lives lead us

Wake

You ride on the back
of her rhythmic tide
drawn to her beauty
which holds your eyes
Treasures below
draw you further from shore
leaves me longing
to come along
Your face Your eyes
bright as sun
you drift slowly away
her in hand
Your leave of me
I withstand
knowing your pleasure
is short at hand
Night and Moon
Promise me Soon
My Love to Shore
soon be home
Her beauty pales
with the night
my heart beats louder
Its heard by yours

Blind

 

 

  

Take my hand

show me the world

let me see it as you do

lead me as I am blind

to discover

life with you in it

Let Me

Written by Janette

 

Let me Love you

Kiss you like the light of the sun

that glistens on your skin

Let me Love you

touch you like the breeze

that caresses your face

Come to me with all your passion

trust that your love is what I need

I want to take your passion

receive it with grace

allow your heart to be free

let your desires be free

safe with me

My Love

Our First Touch

Our First Touch

written by Janette

 

Your love surrounds me

like a protective shield

the hurts of life do fade

measured to your love

 

Bask in the knowledge

your adoration favors me

Surrounded in glowing light

of your seeing eyes

 

My eyes are closed

heart is open

feeling your love

surround me

 

Your arms

possess my body

feel your smile

of pleasure

we touch

the first time

Puzzle

Tell me

Speak to me in words

words from your heart

tell me the piece I'm missing

Fire burning warm and bright

sit with me a while

let's pour it's pieces on the floor

sort them out one by one

explain their purpose and set aside

reveal the picture our hearts desire

hurt and sadness blow away

when truth and purpose come to light

Love survives a winter's puzzle

when Spring reveals the flowers in light

You

You touch

all of my senses

your mind creates words

words that touch my eyes

my mind ~ my heart

sending waves of pleasure

to every inch of me

laughter to intimacy

to passionate love felt deep

your words let my body feel yours

your touch your glance

your eyes consuming me

I feel your desires

your needs

sends me to places I've never been

my body feels your warmth

your desire to give pleasure

your desire to receive pleasure

I blush at the reactions

my body has to your desires

your caresses without touch

I feel you guiding me

- us - to a place

pleasure where only you and I exist

connected mind and body

reaching pleasure few find

in another's arms

your touch

you are ecstasy  

Anticipation

anticipation

you create in me 

anticipation of you

begins with your words 

words that make me laugh

or think 

some that make me blush

I love what you - your words

do to me

they fill my mind with thoughts 

with dreams

with love meant just for me

they touch me  in ways 

make me wish for your hands

they speak to me so I long for your mind

they call to me

and own my heart

anticipation

you fill me with you

Desires Dance

The distance between us disappears in the dark
together our bodies cling to each other
warmth comfort we've craved for lifetimes
now but a breath away I feel you touching me
my body  moves in a dance
responding to your touch
only we hear the notes
a dance of desire to be taken into loves arms
satisfied with the pleasure of our passion
Our needs are many
insistent on their resolve
may time and distance find their parting ways
in order that we may dance
every night to our desires

Wonder

Wonder

 

I wonder

where did you come from

a planet far away

from the home next door

or from God's hand straight into my life

 

Did he tell that I need you

someone exactly like you

or are you just that special

that you knew all on your own

I hope you love baseball

I'm at the park a lot

watching the boys play

and cheering them along

by summer's end

it's obvious to most

why they call me Brownie

just in case you wanted to know

I wonder where did you come from

the field outside the fence

did you wander here on purpose

just for me to love

Collaboration

 In some ways we are such similar beings

both searching and wanting

exactly the same thing

But one craves to read and know

as much as the other

desires to share and be discovered

To be read like a novel 

touched like its leather cover

Gold letters etched in its pages

ageless ~ timeless ~ 

as is his knowledge and use of words

that expands time

takes her page and lights it with fire

forever holding her in his binding

waiting to be read over and over

each word cherished

and held in his heart for eternity

My love

My soul cries out to you every moment of the day

wanting you, wanting every inch of your being

to know you better than I know myself

to understand why you and I have found

us and why it is so powerful in my heart

You've taken over my mind my being with your kindness, your words, your energy comes to me when I least expect it. I think of you and a moment later you are there with words that elate my heart so that it beats faster and faster till I feel it will lift right out of my chest.

At home at night you are so real to me that I expect to find you there waiting for me. To see your beautiful eyes smiling, they knowing exactly what you do to me - even from the distance. I long for your arms to hold me that at times I think you are there and that the warmth of your skin is against mine and that if I turn to see your face it will be there your hands reaching for my cheek. Even now, my chest is rising to meet your touch only finding it's been deceived by wanting yet again.

I feel you places that the mind should not be able to without you physically here with me. Sometimes causing me to blush at the pleasure I have with you with me in that way. When I find my way to bed each night I take you with me, wanting your touch on my skin to be real but instead I look at your face resting beside me on a pillow I've saved for you.

I sleep, but I hear you off in the distance, still awake, wanting what we both want but you seem content with this for now while I struggle a little to accept it as normal for us for now.

come to me when you are ready: I wait for you. I am only broken if you choose not to stay and I am only bruised if you say never. For every hair on my head longs for your touch and the pleasure it will bring your fingers and how wonderful it will be when you are able to place your face where is lays.

Who are you this soul that reaches through time, that knows my mind and my thoughts before they come to me. How have you come to know me this intimately or have I always known you were there somewhere seeing me. Have our souls undressed each other over time that you now see me bare and if so, I am not afraid. I want for you to see me and know me this way.

Bring us together, show me how, guide me gently ~ I trust you with my heart and me. Oh my love, fill me with you.

The Wait

written by Janette Marie

Sleeping so soundly
my mind is awake
filled with wonderment and mystery
anticipating you

Words not put on paper
but lost to my dream
filled with springtime and strawberries
as I await you

Your Gift My Friend

written by: Janette Marie


Wasn't wrapped in pretty paper
or tied with a shiny bow
yet I received this speical gift
so unexpectedly

It arrived one very ordinary day
opening up my heart
pouring tears from my eyes
bringing me to my knees

It was on my knees
with tearfilled eyes
and an open heart
that I could see

I saw a light
shining bright
closing my eyes
I found I could hear

What I heard were his words
words making things so clear
telling me to make a change
that I am worth what I hold dear
a life of love - a life with peace

I've learned that I must forgive
that loving is the way
that I must choose to love
and live in His grace

To appreciate each moment
to find joy not chore in all I do
to see the world through new eyes
and a heart open to Love

I thank you my friend
for your loving gift
you gave me back my life
a life with love and a life with peace

Parade

written by: Janette Marie

Blue canvas
high above
clouds like cottonballs
blowing by
balloons fashioned
for a holiday parade
each one choosing
its favorite charade.

Vow

written by: Janette

I stand in front of you my creator
beside the one I love
the one I've chosen to love
the one that brings smiles to my face
joy to my heart
comfort to my soul
and peace to my life

I pledge to you today
to love him as you've created
created to complete my soul
my friend ~ my joy

I'll listen for your wisdom
to give my all and more to him
Love he is deserving of

To my Love I promise
all that I am; all that I will become
all that I can give
and more Love than I possess today

Allow me to Love you
share our days; hold hands
and teach me to love you more

Paper

Paper is my friend
it comes to me without expectations
without criticism
it allows me the space and time
to create to dream
to speak my heart in total freedom
Paper is my love
it gives me unconditional acceptance
everything I think, feel, choose to print
it accepts me as I am freely
Paper is my life
it chronicles all the most intimate parts of me
I place my soul upon it
it allows my words to become my truth my mirror
perfect lines perfect characters
it allows me to be
every moment without judgment
Paper allows me to be perfect
thin beautiful loved cherished
even if not published
paper is part of me

Run

Run

a world full of places

days full of time

worries and troubles always follow

like shadows they chase me down

until I tire from the race

Is there really such a place

where I can rest my heavy heart

to trust it will be caught

in your strong and loving arms

it searches for your comfort

and longs to rest within

an open and  loving heart

Stay

Time has changed the look of love

to silver and grays I've come to know

a sign of time and gain

in glory of days spent in love

I cherish each and every one

a chance to discover new in you

the love I need just like the sun

to nourish my soul and feed my mind

in you I find my every joy

no need to look in other ways

blessed you too can see the beauty

in all my changing human ways

Found

I let myself be

I can feel your five 0'clock shadowed cheek against mine

breath and hands against my neck

as you whisper words unedited

in choreographed movements

we dance coming to know unbridled passion

we've met and we remember

our souls are branded to each other

like feathers on the wind lips

caress parting years of yearning

life begins as moans escape me

as my heart is opened to your love so deep

through time through eternity

you have found me

Illusion

Illusion

Janette Marie

When the moon is out and bright as this

illusions created in the wake of its light

the illusion of love is ever so clever

that I can't tell if your heart is near

or if mine is in its favor

do my smiles fill your heart with love

is your life connected to mine

will our harvest fall together

I long for winter in your arms

Echo

If you were once in my heart, you are still in my heart,

it's just you take up more space in it each day we are apart ~

you choose to walk away leaving me wanting you

an unanswered thought an unfinished sentence

hope calls me to leave you safe in my heart

it's natural pulse encourages its beat to continue

to increase with every word it hears every thought

no end in sight to the never ending cycle that is us

our life and the distance

do you feel it
